Paranormal

Yesterday evening was lovely. There were sun rays in the sky as the evening was ending.

Then I saw a giant bird in the sky.


Or WAS it a bird?


No, it was a Paraglider!


At times, the birds glided alongside it.


Then it swung down below the mountains and was gone.


“I take the paraglider to the mountain or I roll Daisy out of her hangar and I pick the prettiest part of the sky and I melt into the wing and then into the air, till I'm just soul on a sunbeam.”

— Richard Bach

Love the sky and the paraglider shots. Have a wonderful day.

Ann said...

Beautiful sky. What a feeling it must be to be on that paraglider flying with the birds

that appears to have a big motor on the back, a fan like thing so not a glider, but a one with a motor. they have those out at the beach here, and also the gliders that are pulled behind a boat. that header is gorgeous and I almost missed the glider looking at the sun set. these are stunning photos

MadSnapper said...

search shows they are hangliders but called powered hanggliders. makes sense

Oh, I have seen this one time before in my old town. They are so interesting, cause they aren't too far up in the sky, but high enough to glide along with the birds of nature. They're really cool to watch. I'm glad you got to see this yesterday evening, Ginny. These are cool photos, as the sunset was starting to coming in then.

I love those sunbeams. Years ago, my husband had a ride in a glider like that. He quite enjoyed it.

Nice capture. I just saw one of these the other day flying over the lake.

That's a gorgeous sky! So fun to see a paraglider.

Wow, you had me going wondering what that was. Fun.

Rose said...

I love seeing these, but not sure I would want to ride in one.

You see such interesting sights over your way. Great catchy title, I didn't expect the paraglider :) Enjoyed the quote also.
